Nongmen hot wife: Mysterious husband, come to farm!

Chapter 823 Pregnant with Twins

Two days after the news spread in the county, an official announcement was made in the yamen.

In the past, adult men and women who have reached the age of 12 only need to pay 240 cash per year, and then pay one-fifteenth of the harvest of agricultural products a year.

But this year, the head tax has risen sharply to [-] cash, and farmers' annual tax has also increased from one-fifteenth to one-tenth.

It accounts for one tenth of a family's income, which is not bad.

Originally, the people in the entire county, with their hearts hanging high, fell silent because of the announcement from the yamen, but only they knew what kind of sadness was behind this silence.

The life of the Su family is better now, and paying such a small amount of tax with money will not hurt them, after all, the Su family is still a farmer.

It's just that, Lin Mei couldn't help nagging at home for a few days, and after finishing reading, she suddenly started training Suning again.

"You said earlier that you only charged [-]% of the rent, but fortunately your uncle stopped you, otherwise you would have spent another year in vain."

Suning looked at Lin Mei dumbfounded, she never expected that the imperial court would suddenly raise taxes!

The tenants are not landowners and have no independent taxation qualifications, and the host family pays taxes on their behalf.

In fact, Su Ning thinks that if Xiao Jing is here, he should have a way to avoid the tax this time. After all, he is also a number one scholar, with fame and reputation, and is eligible for tax exemption.

It's just that in order to show that Xiao Jing loved her, all the fields at home were under her name.

Now I can see the disadvantages. After all, for more than 100 mu of land, paying taxes this time is also a lot of money!
Su Ning felt a little distressed thinking about it.

But in the end, he took out the money honestly and did not go to Li Zongting.

She always remembers one sentence, don't owe favors for things that can be solved with money.

Su Ning once again wrote a letter to tell Xiao Jing about the court's tax increase.

Xiao Jing's reply was finally normal.

It turned out that Xiao Jing had written those letters in advance, and asked someone to mail them one by one every day.

That's right!Xiao Jing went to the battlefield again.

This time, he prepared [-] letters in advance. Fortunately, when the last letter was almost finished, he came back after winning the battle, otherwise Suning would run out of food again.

Suning, who knew the truth, almost shed tears.

At the bottom of my heart, there are all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Picking up the pen again, Suning hesitated for a long time before writing.

Regarding Xiao Jing's thoughtfulness, Su Ning didn't say anything, but only laughed and cursed in the reply, reminding him that he shouldn't do this next time.

It's just that Su Ning guessed that Xiao Jing shouldn't pay attention to her words.

In the many replies that followed, Xiao Jing confirmed Suning's guess time and time again.

After four months, Su Ning's belly grew bigger day by day. It was alright at first, but later, Suning found out that it was growing a little fast, and he had a guess in his heart, so he immediately went to see the doctor.

If it was as she expected, the doctor detected a weak pulse under the Xi pulse, and she was pregnant with twins.

Su Ning was so surprised that he looked back and called out, "Sir, we..."

The person who accompanied Suning to see the doctor was Lin Mei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The two looked at her at the same time, their originally happy expressions were tinged with worry and comfort.

"Xiao Ning..."

Su Ning smiled reluctantly.

"I'm fine! Just wanted to share the good news with him."

Lin Mei said distressedly: "You write to him! I believe him, and he must be very happy to hear the news."
